Upgrading And Compatibility Information

DSP/BIOS is binary compatible with DSP/BIOS 5.32 (and all the way back to DSP/BIOS 5.21). Users do not need to recompile your source files or libraries when updating to BIOS 5.33. However users *must* rebuild their configuration since the generated linker .cmd file (<prog>cfg.cmd) is different.

Solaris host is no longer supported in this release. Customer-critical bug fixes to earlier releases will be available to Solaris users if required.

DSP/BIOS 5.33 does not support TMS320C54xx devices. Users of such devices should continue use DSP/BIOS 5.31.xx earlier releases. For customer-critical 54xx-related issues, TI will continue to provide fixes to earlier versions when needed.

Compatibility Key Definitions

Compatibility keys are intentionally independent of Marketing product numbers and are intended to:

  1. Enable tooling to identify incompatibilities between components, and
  2. Convey a level of compatibility between different releases to set end user expectations.

Compatibility keys are composed of 3 comma-delimited numbers - M,S,R - where:

Versioning

This product's version follows a version format, M.mm.pp.bb, where M is a single digit Major number, mm is 2 digit minor number, pp is a 2 digit patch number, and b is an unrestricted set of digits used as an incrementing build counter.

To support multiple side-by-side installations of the product, the product version is encoded in the top level directory, ex. bios_5_33.

Subsequent releases of patch upgrades will be identified by the patch number, ex. BIOS 5.33.03 with directory bios_5_33_03. Typically, these patches only include critical bug fixes.

Please note that version numbers and compatibility keys are NOT the same. For an explanation of compatibility keys, please refer to the 'Upgrade and Compatibility Information' section.
